We are pleased to be able to provide the best possible oral and maxillofacial services from our Murray and Union City offices. Both offices are modern, outpatient surgical facilities , capable of providing the highest quality oral surgical and anesthesia care. Stringent sterilization and infection control protocols are utilized in both offices.
A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown.
